Ingredients
  

For the Meringue:

  • 4 egg whites
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 ripe mango
  • 2 kiwis
  • 1 passion fruit
  • A few chunks of fresh pineapple
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Meringue

  • Preheat your oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks.
  • Gently fold in the cornstarch, vinegar, and vanilla extract using a spatula.
  • Spoon the meringue onto the baking sheet, shaping it into a 9-inch circle with a slight well in the center for the filling.
  • Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the meringue cool completely inside with the door slightly open.

Step 2: Prepare the Topping

  • Whip the chilled heavy cream until it starts to thicken, then gradually add the powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  • Slice the mango, kiwis, and pineapple into thin slices or small chunks.
  • Cut the passion fruit in half and scoop out the pulp with a spoon.

Step 3: Assemble the Pavlova

  • Place the cooled meringue on a serving plate.
  • Spread the whipped cream evenly in the center.
  • Arrange the tropical fruits beautifully on top, adding the passion fruit pulp for a fresh, tangy touch.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves for extra flavor and visual appeal.

Step 4: Serve

  • Serve the pavlova immediately to maintain its crispy texture.
  • Cut generous slices and enjoy this tropical fruit pavlova.
